Your second client for the day is Masooda Bakash, an Afghani citizen. Masooda arrived in Australia on a Student Class TU (subclass 500) visa two years ago with her husband and two children. Masooda was the top student in Engineering at Kabul University before she arrived in Australia to complete her PhD in Aeronautical Engineering. Unfortunately, once Masooda arrived in Australia, she lost interest in studying and started working full time instead. Consequently, her visa was cancelled. Masooda accepted this decision and decided it was time to take her family home anyway. Masooda and her family had every intention to leave. However, two days before she was due to leave Australia, Taliban forces sent a threat to her family in Kabul warning her not to return. She now does not want to return, as she fears for her and her family's safety.
